SAGINAW TOWNSHIP, MI — Police in Saginaw Township responded to two traffic crashes on Thursday, July 18, that occurred within 500 feet of each other, and just 10 minutes apart.

The first incident occurred about 2:30 p.m., not far from the State and Wieneke intersection.

According to the Saginaw Township Police Department, a white 2002 Dodge Caravan driven by a 51-year-old Hemlock man rear-ended a 1995 Pontiac driven by a 70-year-old Saginaw Township women while both vehicles were traveling east on State.

No injuries were reported as a result of the crash and both vehicles were drivable, according to police.

Minutes later, police and fire officials responded to a rollover crash on a private drive about 500 feet from the first accident scene.

Police said a gold Chrysler PT Cruiser headed west on Brockway collided with a red Chevrolet Blazer. Police allege the driver of the Blazer failed to stop for right-of-way traffic while exiting the Walmart parking lot. The Blazer rolled over and came to rest north of Brockway in the private drive leading to State.

An 83-year-old man from Saginaw, who was driving the Blazer, was taken to Covenant HealthCare after suffering an injury to his arm. The driver of the PT Cruiser, a 65-year-old Saginaw Township woman, was not injured, police said.

Workers from Best Towing flipped the Blazer upright before transporting it from the scene.
